Ms. Namita Nayyar:

In one of your interviews, you have indicated that at one time you wore a dress size 22 when you were 18 years old. As a fitness enthusiast, Unfold the exercises that comprise your fitness regime on a daily basis?

Ms. Catherine Tyldesley:

I aim for 2-3 weight training sessions each week , 2 cardio sessions (usually 60 min swim) and 1-2 Pilates sessions. I’ve just started reformer Pilates and I adore it. It compliments my weight training perfectly. I’ve really seen a difference with my core muscles in terms of using them correctly. Depending how busy I am at work I try to walk as much as possible too. I’m as guilty as anyone else for not always reaching 10k steps, but when I make an effort to do so, my weight does drop.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Ms. Catherine Tyldesley:

I think if you’re eating whole foods you can’t go too wrong. I’ve had trainers in the past who’ve told me ‘calories don’t matter’… I disagree. They do. Regardless of what lifestyle you have. I think the fitness industry is saturated with faddy diets, faddy exercise regimes and personal trainers that care more about how many ‘likes’ a picture of their abs get on Insta as opposed to furthering themselves education wise. That’s why I love and train regularly at Ultimate Performance in Spinningfields Manchester.

Their trainers are the world’s best- they NEVER stop learning. It’s all about the results there, taking things back to basics in terms of exercise and nutrition. No silly ‘starve yourself detoxing’, or gimmick based workouts. I share their ethos. Train hard, eat from the land and sleep!! You can’t go far wrong with that!!
